How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Bathroom floor sq ft = 50, Scope level (0-2) = 1, Tile floor sq ft = 50, Tile wall sq ft = 80 = 10 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total project cost
    Total project cost = subtotal + contingency
    13159 = $13,159
  3. Calculate Materials subtotal
    Materials subtotal = tileCost + toiletCost + vanityCost + showerTubCost + plumbingCost + electrica...
